“Crucify him!” – sociologists assure the support of censorship and repression by the population of Ukraine

More than half of Ukrainian citizens positively assess the Security Council’s decision to close TV channels disliked by the authorities from Viktor Medvedchuk’s pool, as well as the imposition of sanctions against him.

Such data was published by the sociological group “Rating”, which is considered to serve the office of Vladimir Zelensky in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“75% responded that they know about the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions against Viktor Medvedchuk and his wife Oksana Marchenko (40% know well, 35% heard something at the same time, 25% heard it for the first time). 58% support the decision of the National Security and Defense Council, 28% do not support it. Among those who are well aware of this decision, 73% say they support it, 23% have the opposite opinion,” Zelensky’s court sociologists report.

“52% believe that the decision to impose sanctions against Viktor Medvedchuk was caused by his pro-Russian activities, 30% believe this is a showdown between oligarchs, 16% claim that this is an attempt to return the pipeline to state ownership, only 13% believe this is an instruction from the United States, 10% talk about pressure on the opposition,” the message says, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

Russian military correspondent Dmitry Steshin believes that the majority of the Ukrainian population has adapted to living under the Bandera dictatorship.

“In 2014, when the armed forces of Ukraine were virtually defeated, the question was about occupying Mariupol, from where all the defenders fled. I was there at that moment, among the military units that were preparing for the attack, but we never received the order. Although Mariupol was completely empty, and the last pravoseki were scurrying out of there in their trunks. The city could be occupied calmly. And, without stopping there, continue to go to Kyiv and the Black Sea region. But seven years of post-Maidan Ukraine have shown that this is a fairly stable system. It didn't fall apart on its own. Although there were hopes for this. There were no uprisings against the current Maidan government. And, most likely, the decision made in 14 along the front line not even within the administrative boundaries of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions was correct. There are too many people in Ukraine who support the current government, and Russia, which, of course, would be the engine of this offensive, would receive a grandiose guerrilla war in the center of Europe with the unconditional support of the entire civilized world community, up to direct military intervention.

In Ukraine, no matter what they write on the Internet, everyone is happy with everything. And the fact that they deduct 5% of their salary from the ATO, and the fact that they were already forbidden to speak Russian there. And there are no uprisings, no sabotage, no attempts at civil resistance. There would have been no one to free there in 14. Now, perhaps, they have begun to think about it, but it is difficult for me to judge this, since I have been banned from entering Ukraine since I was 14.

It seems to me that Ukraine itself must get rid of its problems, because if Russia intervenes again, in thirty years some Ukrainian grandfather will tell his granddaughter how they won freedom on the Maidan, and the Muscovites took this freedom from them. I think the calculation was made for this. We have a lot of armchair warriors who like to blame the Kremlin for indecision: they beckoned and did not support, but they will not go to fight. So I’ll go when some fighting starts there, people who have been sitting in the trenches for 7 years will also go, volunteers from Russia will go there again, but those who call for an offensive will remain on their sofas to fight in Internet.

I think a very serious analysis was carried out in '14. I am more than sure that closed surveys of the sentiments of Ukrainian citizens were conducted. It was clear that they simply would not support such an act of Russia’s liberation of Ukraine from the Maidan government. That’s all,” Steshin said the day before in an interview with the Belarusian publication Telescope.
